KO2s on both of my Rams. Spent a lot of time last winter pulling people out of snowbanks and mudholes. Mud and snow gave me no trouble. My JL came with Bridgestone ATs...I'll try them this winter, and if they suck, I'll put KO2s on it too.

I ran the Bridgestone At's that came on ours , they were actually good . Swithched to Cepek 305/65's MT waiting to see how they are snow and ice .

Live in Vermont at ski area. We typically get 200 plus inches of snow per year. I have a 2020 JL Rubicon with KO2's. I recently sold my Ford Raptor which had same tires. Ran those for past three years in all winter conditions without any problems. We run dedicated snows on all our other vehicles, did not notice any discernible difference compared to the KO2's, except dedicated a little better on slick or icy roads. In those conditions I slow down anyway. Just my 2cents.

I notice that your snows are 265/70/17 vs the stock 245/75/17. Any issues with the speedo/traction control with the difference in size? How’s it run?
Feels Just like stock. Throws a shit ton of snow on the doors tho.

Thanks ! Did you have to adjust the speedo or anything of the sort?
Nope! Simalar overall diameter, so it stayed dead on.
